    Wow. Innocent until proven guilty wasn’t implemented in the UK until The Human Rights Act of 1998.

    Was it implemented prior to that, or is that really a new thing?

      Nope the uk as far as I know as I’m not a legal expert doesn’t even have a declaration of Human rights freedom of speech freedom of assembly freedom of the press and or many other crucial laws
